You can do this with multiple slides, or even just one slide, adding some compelling parallax animation to your website.

This comes with four different types of sliders, all offering the same animated, parallax effect.

Like many other jQuery sliders, it also includes:

fully customizable

touchscreen support

fully responsive and unlimited layers

autoplay, loop, height & width, and timer parameters

and more

Animated layers are not limited to text and images either. You can also include YouTube, Vimeo, and HTML5 video.

The Parallax Slider is another fine example of how Flash-like effects can be executed better than Flash—and be supported across all devices.

Conclusion

It's interesting to see how the jQuery slider has evolved from something that just transitioned from one image to the next, into a broad range of creative tools. We see sliders that are 3D, parallax, full page, and are fully responsive and viewable on the desktop or smartphone.

If you didn't find a jQuery slider you liked in this list, you could always take an Envato Tuts+ jQuery Code Tutorial and develop something completely new and unique. Otherwise, dig through the many other great jQuery sliders on Envato Market—there are plenty to choose from.
